A stop motion timelapse from filmmaker Jeff Frost combining 300,000 photographs taken over the last two years: from riots and decomposing roadkill to optical illusions painted by himself inside abandoned buildings. The film – vaguely intended as an exploration of ‘creation and destruction’ – was made without graphics or visual effects.

It’s quite the visual treat and, if you can spare 12 minutes, well worth watching right to the end.

Last night’s Tonight with Vincent Browne in which our host – joined by Fionn Davenport (Irish Times) and Catherine Halloran (Irish Daily Star) reviewing de papers – expertly avoids mixing up Twink’s lost puppy with the Irish Sun’s front page splash.

Puppies.

Bonkers and very sweet house arrest prankage.

Johnny Moy writes:

“The Fear [hidden camera show] is back on RTÉ 2 with it’s third season on Monday September 29th at 10:30pm. After the success of last year’s Water Meter prank, we’ve released a taster of what’s to come over this season starring Hilary Rose, Ross Browne and Fred Cooke. Our characters return a prisoner on house arrest to his “parents” who are not that happy to see him…”

Raymond C Lai’s surreal tale of two brothers taking a stand against gangs and customers reusing tiny roses in glass tubes as crack pipes at their cartoon corner shop.

Starring  Randall Park (he of Veep) and Dwayne Perkins of Late Night With Conan O’Brien.

It’s 22 minutes long and best approached as the pilot for some class of a mad sitcom.
